Services, an outsourcing agency, for rendering security services to
the Institution, on contract. Its security services are currently
being managed with 1 Safety & Security Officer appointed by the
Institution itself, and 4 Supervisors & 41 Security Guards provided
by the agency who are deployed at all three buildings of the Institution,
namely SSN's main hospital complex, Institute of Ophthalmology and
the Institute of Community Ophthalmology which is just half-a-kilometre

of the buildings and in their compounds including car parking lots,
the agency also handles the responsibility of operation and monitoring

training by the Institution in 'Disaster Management' measures, particularly
in 'firefighting' techniques during emergencies and conduct frequent
'mock drills' to test the preparedness of the Institution for such
